  2. Yes u can but ull find it takes up just as much room and is awkward to use. Get a remote head UHF or the icon that has all controls in the mic and the unit goes under the dash
  3. The 4705 is a heavy duty gibreglass pole co linear about 1200 high I think from memory. U could take 5-10mm off the top but no more
  4. I would love to know what goes on in ur head mate lol, I'm not saying its a bad thing, not by a long shot, I think I'm just jelious Did u sell the gq? What's plans for this one?
  5. U know ur on a good thing when admin tell u when they will be in and out

    UHF noob

    Yes they need access to the antenna connector on the rear of the unit, just leave it loose Even with an out of tune antenna u should still be able to receive most audio Is the squelch adjustable? Almost sounds like its set very high and could explain ur rx problem. Any 2 way radio specialist should be able to check swr I believe that most pretuned UHF cb band(477meg) antennas should work well enough Regardless if they r perfect or not. If u remove the antenna and check ur coax with a ohmmeter. Inner to inner. Outer to outer for continuity and inner to outer for an open circuit and have the correct Antenna then the antenna should be fine.. If this check out and the voltage on tx is ok then provided the radio isn't faulty then it should be fine. Get someone else with a 2way to try and talk to you and see if it works.... With out test gear or special equipment there isn't much more you can do by ur self I am also a radio comms tech and an auto electrician ( in a past life)

    UHF noob

    As far as a basic UHF that lil uniden is a great unit. Good speaker audio, and a independant ground plane antenna so even if ur installation of the antenna is poor it will still work as it doesn't need a ground plane to operate. Defiantly go the uniden mate

    UHF noob

    there ur voltage at the bck of the radio when txing, if u have a poor power source thevoltage may be dropping to lowto tx properly. shouldbe a minium 12.2 when tx

    UHF noob

    What UHF and what antenna did u use UHF cb (40 or 80 channel) doesn't need any tuning other than the correct 477 meg antenna fitted If u fitted ur own connector to the coax check it's not shorted out, which will result in no receive plus may damage the UHF on tx
  13. Still would be very sure it's a battery issue, it going flat is different to being faulty so that doesn't mean anything, like I said the start of the cold weather brings out battery issues big time, so if it's oly happened for the last month or less then I'm quite sure it's a battery pro, but yeah get it checked properly before u replace it
  14. U would need to modify the loom quite allot mate And also weld in new engine mounts Lots of stuffing around
  15. Brett these r like the servo ones, the lever just clips and releases it from the valve, it flows all the time Gold I say I'm ordering 2
  16. Ull the the 1 and only at this stage dude
  17. im on it thanks mte what a great idea cheers I LOVE FORUMS
  18. welcome mate if it gets off the ground, it will swap patrol4x4 s much easier to use especially on i phone
  19. First start issue, battery for suregt it checked, winder brings out the worst in a tired battery Extralong crank time: firstly suspect glow plugs worn- would stat with new glow plugs. but this fault still could be related to a fulty battery so would stick with battery testing to startwith, if u get a new battery see if it fixes ur cranking issue to if not, glow plugs
  20. Welcome to the TD42T Club Im TD42T Club #1
  21. SA Boys Put your Hand Up for new club SA Troller #... Im :SA Troller #1
  22. Can be very expensive depending what u want mate i have a GT2870 dts manifold and beaudesert 3" zorst and that cost me about 6k i did all the fitting my self then got a second hand gu IP as mine was making out 800 buks(now needsarebiuld) then got a cheap FMIC off ebay brand new from NZ and al the piping I brought local, so say another 400 for that then i added a catch can 250 plus all the other bits and pieces, dyno tuning etc and im still not hapy with 108kw. an 17psi I wouldnt buy a second hand pump like I did, id get a rebiult unit straight up. im gonna go for a 12mm swaffie when i have the money
  23. Spewing mate, such a shame those things blow ups like its going out of fashion Hopefully once it's done it stays that way
